Where Does My Mikhail Sleep Tonight

Where does my Mikhail sleeps tonight? His bed his bare, his room his cold No one looks to see the wild geese flight And far away the church bells toll. I had him once against my chest, no more Where does my Mikhail sleeps tonight The wild waves wander a wind blown shore It's dark, it's dark, stars hides my sight. So young the child to die, to live so bright So strange the void in time and space Where does my Mikhail sleeps tonight I love not much again earth the barren place A long for promises I heard of Eden sown Again with love, and joy gathered in the flight Of sorrow from the harrowing ere the throne Eden will be Mikhail again with me tonight.
